forever buoyant
tonadoes spinning madly
dark skies debris SAFE

(we are 15-20 minutes from the tornadoes that hit central AR yesterday & are fine-I'll check in quicker from now on)

Gullibles Travels,
a fictionary journey
into the flames
of Satan's lovers,
the lair of demonic
lust,
the seed of
dishonour,
incantations
immobilize the prey,
seduction of innocence
and all that is pure,
ecstacy blazing,
melting resistance,
fallen angels
devoured,

angering the gods,
one thousand horses
pounded the earth
in unison,
fracturing the bowels
of hell,
death angels,
kissed by heavens light
rebirthed,

ressurected in flight,
vanquished evil
replenishing Eden.

brought home from Cathartic expressions!

I am!
I have lived!
and I will die

when I take
my leave,
my departure

is

my expression!

my life is a finger print
like no other.

there are those
who will love me

and those
who will hate me.

but

what's even sadder!

there are those
who do not know me!

and yet,
still come
to say goodbye!

The dawn turned to dusk, and caught me napping!
for a moment, I panicked,
then awoke, only to realize
it was all a dream!
as I looked out the window,
I saw the sun laughing,
I shook my head with a smirk,
and we laughed together.

is there a better way to start life??

and the sun caressed my cheek
with a warm spring kiss.

brought over from Ash's thread...

There's a midnight train
running on broken track,
100 cars deep
as I look back,

Each car is locked,
and guarded as well,
she's runnin full throttle
on a mission to he*l.

The manifest blackout,
her cargo they say,
each car is loaded
with the "truth" of the day.

There's no way of knowing
which one is right,
as she speeds off to darkness
in the stealth of the night.

One must denounce God,
to vindicate their own unholiness.

therefore: attack believers
to justify their existence.

It makes them
feel godly!

and power corrupts

the spirit.

Know you won't mind if I move mine over here too ..
Doesn't flow perfectly but know what?
Doesn't bother me today...


Sun caressing my cheek
Spring’s warm kissing way
Every larger-than-life flower
Adding to the day’s bouquet
Sunshine wherever I go
Unpacked silk veil today
Clear sky, glinting songs
Danced the blues away
It was just a ‘phone date’
Words under moon’s
Inimitable luster in May
Feeling carefree as a convertible
Tooling down Pacific Coast Highway

Awakened to Love
being caressed lightly upon my cheek
new day dawned

hammy how you make me smile
we've paid admission to this shindig
we've paid our dues and taxes and bills
now it's our time to dance dance dance
i am not going to count up all the zeros in the world
so much depends on what you are expecting
if life could talk, we still would need a translator

woke to eskiomo kisses
so sweet with granola breath

showered, drying off to...

red jello on the
white carpet
casualty
of boydom
here's the carpet cleaner
mom
maybe i can help

laughter bubbling as i tell him
i love what he does
with jello art
although paper jello art
would have been easier to clean up

that is a beautiful design

maybe he'll be another picasso

He was realllll cute with those lil' dimples shining as he tried to save himself lil' pickle head...

three games a week
two practices
wears out the athlete

pitching aches
body fatigue makes him want to drop

basketball draft
hey-this is coach somebody
can he play with us?
we heard about him
our practices are

the same nights as
baseball

mom! they have a swim team!
whaddaya think?

48 hours of nothingness
friday night
church lock-in
had a blast
eyes sparkling
to the heavens
pick up 7am
i didn't need ANY sleep
walked in, bag on floor
shoes by door
couch for nine hours of
deep, hard sleep
4pm
can we go skating?

slept to 10am today
blessed relief
fully charged up
ready for practice in a few hours

three games this week

thinking of taking a vacation
when season is over

(probably only in my dreams, but those are oft best, aren't they? have a wonderful day, darling man of my heart)

i'd fly through
the lines of time
cutting a path
at mach nine

to Foresthill, California
the peace and beauty there unsurpassed
Eureka, Norcal
dancing through shadows of
redwoods
burying my toes in the sands
of Manchester Beach

Williams, Arizona
time with the Grand Canyon
sunrise
and i sharing the beauty

Ft. Collins, Colorado
Jelm, Wyoming,
Rockies surrounding me
breathing in pure beauty
John Denver knew of which he spoke

Laramie, Wy
personification of
perfect city in a valley of
moutainess beauty

Ogalalla, Nebraska
home of Gus & Woodrow
ghostly shoot-ups
cowboys fading to dust

Port Huron, Michigan
seaside...
lighthouses

Great Lakes
realizing the power of
Gordon Lightfoot's
Edmond Fitzgerald

Sarnia, Ontario
bluest waters ever seen
mystical
biggest town on Lake Yuron
Grace, too...

Niagra
heart stopping
gorgeous
kissing the night darkness
misting
with the falls

riding the stars
eyes opening

at the park
or a baseball game
home again
the mom

fully recharged

Scenic tour laid out in words...hope it comes true in real life for you someday.

Gordon Lightfoot is awesome
and he is still a fav
his music back then
was all the rave.

Giant redwoods of B.C.
they're something to view
roads cut through them
lanes two by two.

The rockies to the north
spectacular in kind
heart skips a beat
and just blows your mind.

so much to see
and so much you can do
keep dreams alive
till then...here's to you!

Breathing once more
She tilted her head to sip the morning dew
Sun dappled rays lighting the left side of her head
One eye glinting in the soft rays
With humor
....and once more
That certain joi de vivre

(not long now)

Thank you my friend
The pieces are starting to fall back into place...
As they do

I have rejoined the living
And breath comes more easily...

Crocs? No crocs down here. Too cold
I think they decided to head for warmer climes....
The chill was getting to them

Funny you said that....one group of writes involved enticing peasants to the castle by all kinds of inducements because the crocs in the moat were getting restless and hungry. (well they have to eat too ya know and peasants are known to do very foolish things when they think they will get something for nothing )

But the Dragons were always kept in the dungeon
We had to take down the drapes though in the whole castle
Darn things kept roaming
Fires in every room they went into
(sigh)

Ah well
Onto the next time zone

RE: #653 .. It's like an epic movie in one frame.

Yes, I noticed the use of fictionary .. the newly coined word ..
Credit for first use given to Mandrake of POF Forums fame.
I hope it becomes .. from this humble beginning .. a household word in the years to come.
Could become your claim to fame.



Kudos .. to the wordsmith, Mandrake.
